A few photos from today's trip.

My daughter and I drove through the historical sites of Empress Elizabeth Petrovna.

The monastery built by Trezzini on the orders of Anna Ioannovna.

From here, Elizabeth rode out to the guards and raised them to rebel in order to regain the throne

Znamenka Estate. Palace of Count Alexei Grigorievich Razumovsky.

In fact, Alexei was Elizabeth's common-law husband for many years, and according to rumors of that time, Elizabeth gave birth to a son and a daughter. Because of these rumors, after Elizabeth's death, several "her children" were discovered. The most famous of them is Princess Tarakanova.

Greenhouses:

and luxurious gates to the courtyard.

The road to the bay and a small picnic on the shore.

Next, the Sergievka estate. The estate of Count Rumyantsev.

This palace was built by the architect Stackenschneider later, when in the 19th century the estate passed to the royal family.
And during the time of Elizabeth Petrovna, the estate was owned by Field Marshal Pyotr Alexandrovich Rumyantsev-Zadunaisky. One of the heroes of the Seven Years' War. Under his command, Russian troops conquered Poland and took the impregnable Kolberg. Thus opening a direct route to Berlin. Unlike Count Apraksin, who turned out to be a traitor, he was removed from command by Elizabeth and brought to trial.
True, there is little left of the Rumyantsev family here. Only half-ruined bridges and a head in the park.

The last point of our route, the Gostilitsy estate. The estate of Kirill Razumovsky, Alexei's younger brother. He was the ruler of all of eastern Ukraine and part of Belarus.

Basically, nothing special, but gorgeous ruins! My daughter was delighted.

Playing around in the garage and added the Salt 2 to the mix. Went to a car show yesterday and thought I’d share some beautiful cars to enjoy.

Thanks for walking us through your history. I'm curious: who owns and maintains all of these old estates? Are they the property and responsibility of the Russian state? If so, have any descendants of the original owners successfully reclaimed their ancestors' estates?

This is an interesting question. The monastery was returned to the church in 1993. The Znamenka estate is owned by the state. It is now an abandoned area. In the USSR, it housed a police school. No restoration work is being done there. The Sergievka estate belongs to the Botanical Department of St. Petersburg State University. The problem is that both of these estates are listed as monuments of federal significance. And they have the status of UNESCO monuments. According to Russian law, no one can get them. Only if the state itself decides to transfer them to someone for maintenance. The Gostilitsy estate is just ruins that remained after World War II. It stands in a park, in the middle of a village with a population of 4,000. No one will restore it.

Thanks! You'll probably be seeing alot of that shot going forward. It was unintended at first, but it just so happens that my morning coffee/evening whiskey spot on the porch lines up perfectly with my parking spot. Didn't even realize it until I got this truck.
